Preinitials and their development in Horpa and Tangut
The present article reconstructs the set of preinitial consonants present in Proto-Horpa, the source of contemporary Horpa lects spoken in Sichuan, China. Horpa is a West Gyalrongic subgroup of lects known for its conservative phonology, which is among other things reflected in complex syllable initial consonant clusters. The study establishes nine proto-preinitials (*n-, *m-, *v-, *s-, *z-, *ɣ-, *ʁ-, *l-, *r-) and demonstrates that they have bee…
The Tangut verbal template from a cross-West Gyalrongic perspective
The past decade has seen an increase in attention to Tangut, an extinct Sino-Tibetan language spoken by the rulers of the Western Xia xīxià 西夏 empire. The question of its classification has become a subject of discussion especially since the documentation of its closest relatives came to light recently. The present paper builds on the study of the Tangut verb template by Jacques (2011) to question the place of Tangut with regard to the Horpa lang…
Non-past and past verb stems in Tangut
Over the past decade, the documentation of Gyalrongic languages has shed light on grammatical phenomena which were poorly understood in Tangut, a language of critical importance in the field of Sino-Tibetan comparative linguistics. This paper provides an explanation for the last remaining unelucidated verbal alternation in Tangut ( -ɨ 1 /- i 2 ), which, as I will demonstrate, encodes a non-past/past distinction. By doing so, it also gives fresh a…

Tangut and Horpa languages
Fieldwork from the past decade has yielded new data from a cluster of languages in Western Sichuan (China), resulting in new observations relevant for the understanding of Tangut grammar. In this paper, I intend to present morphosyntactic evidence pointing to the Tangut language’s membership within the Horpa taxon, located within the larger Gyalrongic group of the Qiangic branch of Sino-Tibetan. Tangut exclusively shares with Horpa languages cogn…
Tangut verb agreement
The Tangut language is of particular importance to the field of SinoTibetan Studies, notably because of its morphological conservatism, which is unexpectedly correlated with a simplification of its syllable structure, a consequence of a process Miyake (2012) called “compression”. Such conservatism is evident in the syllable qualities reconstructed, which sometimes reflect proto Tangut’s ancient derivational processes. Verbs also exhibit various…
